Attack on Media
Arrest
Police detain Waqt TV team |
| |
Security personnel in plainclothes locked the Waqt TV team in Parliament Lodges for covering the arrest scene of PML-N acting President Makhdoom Javed Hashmi. The security people raided Hashmi’s apartment in the Parliament Lodges when the Waqt TV reporting team consisting of reporter Hasnain Ghayoor and cameraman Asim Qureshi was interviewing the PML-N acting chief. Both the reporters and the cameraman were stopped from covering the scene of arresting Hashmi, who also exchanged harsh words with the security personnel. They not only stopped the Waqt TV team from the coverage but also locked them in a room in the Parliament Lodges. However, later on they succeeded in escaping from the illegal detention through the window left open. The journalists’ community criticised the action of the security personnel for stopping the reporters from coverage and putting them in illegal lock-up. CR Shamsi, senior journalist and PFUJ leader condemning the event said, “ The present regime under the toxicity of power has not only gone blind against the opposition parties but also has imposed an unannounced crackdown on media that is very regrettable”. He said the government was hampering free reporting in an Islamic democratic state. “ The government must abstain from stopping the media to render its professional duties as it was against the civilized codes of independent society,” he added.

Letter to Editor, “HEC’s criteria for journals” |
| |
DR ARIFA FARID, “APROPOS of Samina Waqar’s letter (Sept 12), correction/revision/modification of the list of approved journals of the HEC has come well in time. As rightly pointed out by Prof (Dr) Naveed Tahir of Area Study Centre of Europe, University of Karachi, the error in the HEC’s earlier website was recently upgraded to now include Journal of European Studies in the list of approved journals. I have yet to add a few words about the impact factor in Social Sciences and Humanities area of the articles, much emphasised by the HEC. In contrast to physical sciences, ideas presented in the Social Sciences and Humanities area cannot be gauged easily in a few years. Philosophical and social ideas that have moved the world or have impact on social structures of societies or world at large have rarely been observed immediately after they were presented. It takes sometimes centuries, and now after information technology, decades for social ideas to have any positive or negative impact on societies. A few examples will serve to establish my points.
